Ousmane Sembene is regarded as the father of African cinema with a career stretching over four decades. "Moolaadé" won the Best Film award in the Certain Regard section at Cannes, and shows that he has lost nothing of his wit and eye for human character. A patriarch with obvious feminist sympathies, in "Moolaadé" he brilliantly tackles his most controversial subject to date: female circumcision. Colle Gallo Ardo Sy, a circumcised woman, has managed to help her only daughter escape from the ritual of 'purification' organised every seven years. Now that the next ritual is about to happen, four young girls have fled from the village to escape from excision and are seeking protection from Ardo. The village is on the boil as two kinds of values clash dramatically: the right of protection and the attachment to tradition symbolised by excision. The life-affirming "Moolaadé" celebrates the strength of women in modern-day Africa, to whom it is dedicated. (Verlagstext)
